Abstract
By means of theoretical calculations at density functional level, the complex structure of a hexaarylbenzene-based receptor with Na+ was derived. In the resulting complex having C 3 symmetry, the sodium cation synergistically interacts with the hydrophilic polar ethereal oxygen fence and with the central hydrophobic benzene bottom of the parent receptor via cation–π interaction.
